All mutes are approximate (listen to the recording to get a feel for the rhythm). It's typical 80s clean pop-funk guitar playing, and this is how I play it with a full band. Chords are what the overall harmony is at that point. There's a lot of room to have fun with this arrangement by adding 7ths and suspensions to really jazz it up and add color to what the keys are playing.
